Being homeless is a very sad time in one’s life

Homelessness is something that only those who are
can tell you about
the anguish
the soul urge it does scar
no walls
no doors
no windows
no protection, at all
nothing you can call your own
from a great height you just fall

down into the pits, the gutter down into the slime
kipping on a park bench in a cardboard box
you climb
out there in all weathers
with a few belongings, you
wander about the cities streets
with nothing else to do

one such women she was known
as the cat lady for she
had 2 stray cats holed up in carrier case
that was where they be
a few old clothes pushed in there
and that was all she had
she would stand it by the place she sat
and generally was sad

recently a skateboarder
and 6 foot white guy came
rushing passed where she was sitting
seemingly she did claim
he picked up all her worldly goods
and tossed them in the bay
all she had her 2 wee cats
were gone that’s what they say

she wanted to go after him
but was stopped for those they knew
if she had jumped down OFF the pier
what else would she do
but drowned and she beside herself
was comforted by those
who realised what happened
and the dangers that it posed

one has to ask the question
what sicko’s are there there
skateboarding around the place
no compassion anywhere
unfeeling of a women
a homeless women too
who hadn’t done them any harm
and was broken hearted to

and know her two cats had been lost
she beside herself with woe
broken like a flower stalk
when a hefty wind did blow
the police are looking for a man
lets hope he’s caught for he
is clearly another psychopath
at the moment walking free
